a form of art

A theory and the hard effort to applied it. A short film in which the performances, the tension, the humor and the fair perspective about relations, seduction and self esteem are basic ingredients for a sort of wise perspective about expectations and result of work to be accepted after the theory becomes only a sort of introduction exercise. Michel Kpmann gives more than a honorable job and Luc Muller is the perfect Mefisto.
